I'm really not much of a people photographer... It's probably because I hate having my own picture taken and kind of expect other people to feel the same.
I was recently asked by one of the road racing guys I know to take some portrait type shots of him and his bike, and figured that might be a good transition - combining something new with something I know
Anyway, here are a couple of the shots. I did a little tweaking in Lightroom but nothing else.
Let me know what you think. I can use all the constructive criticism I can get - I have another session with someone else next weekend.
I know the Sigma 10-20mm is not exactly a standard portrait lens
, but it seemed like the way to go to get both rider and bike in the frame as much as possible. I guess in some way these are more product shots than portraits.
